How honest should I be to my mom about my depression?
In my humble opinion, you may, but only if you also tell her you want to start psychological/psychiatric treatment.It’s not that people with mental illness are a burden. It’s just that those around them sometimes feel overwhelmed by the vehement expression of their symptoms. A plan for treatment will give her some hope.Surely some people will be against my opinion, but, if you don’t intend to be treated, you shouldn’t tell her, or you could tell her without going into details, so that any future events don’t catch her “off guard”. If you don’t want to be treated, it would be something like saying “Lately I’ve been vomiting blood, but I don’t want to go to the doctor, I’m fine.”Having said that, you must be treated. Your symptoms are serious. If you’re a minor, probably the only way to get treatment is with your parent’s permission. If you want to get better, they won’t oppose.Greetings.
I wrote a hurtful - but HONEST - letter to my Mom. should i send it?
I think you should take out the mean parts but still send the honest parts. Your mom needs to know how you feel and in the end it could save your relationship with her.
I'm 17 he's 19 could he get in trouble?
We are 2 years apart. We have had sex. If my mom finds out she will flip. Could he get I trouble? Could he face jail? I need information not a rude answer. This is an honest question. If something were to happen an I got pregnant how much trouble could he get in?
Can I get in trouble for telling my therapist about my underage drinking?
Please no lectures about underage drinking, please just answer my question. I am 16 and I just started therapy and one of the questions she asked me was "do you drink alcohol or use drugs?". I said no, but honestly I drink quite a bit and use marijuana. I was afraid to tell her though because I don't want my mom to find out. And honestly, I don't plan on stopping any time soon, as bad as that sounds(but I'm being honest!). So should I tell her? And how do I tell her that I lied before?
Brutally honest?
well let just say i thought i was being honest, being the only child of a single mother, i spent a lot of time with my aunt and her three boys, they would run from the bathroom to their bedroom in just their underwear, yelling don't let her see your weiner, being 3, i made the conenction that underwear was called a weiner, so one day while shopping with my mother, we were in a dressing room together, and she was trying on various pair of jeans, wearing white panties with a rose applique, at which point, i loudly said, my mom you sure do have a pretty weiner, the girls in the next booth fell silent, and my mom stayed there till closing
Should I tell my mom that I did terrible on every exam and make her nervous or tell her I did kind of good to relief her but still, she will be disappointed when the results come out?
Always speak the truth
My mom has a heart problem, How do I tell her that I failed my semester?
If it was me I would try to hide it from her and clear my semester by retaking the exams and clearing them at all costs. Make sure telling her will be your last option. Make sure to hide your failed results very well from her. Let your family members know about what you’re upto, discuss with other family members.I would say you should check it out by indirect means will this news effect your mother or not? Is it important to her or not? For example ask her questions like ‘hey mom ‘what if’ I failed my semester for this or that reasons? I’m really worried about failing.’ Entangle this question in a causal conversation (in a causal way). Listen to her carefully, if this is effecting her immediately tell her ‘mom it was a what if question. I’m just worried about my results.’ Try to soothe her.If it’s really not possible to retake the exams and you have no other option then do tell her by going slowly and politely. Try to make her understand and take lots of precautions.Also take into account how she reacted to your ‘what if’ question if she is okay and understanding about it only then reveal it to her.Hope this helps.
So not comfortable with my stepdad after 6 years?
Hello. I know it's been a long while since I last asked a question here. But honestly, I've been having a lot of trouble with my stepdad since a few years. He started being with my mom since I was 15. Now I'm 21. But here's the thing, we were never really that close since the beginning. He was friendly at first, but since last year. He's been losing his temper on my mom because of me taking his stuff without permission. Look I know you're going to say it's not right to do so. But look I didn't know okay. He's only like ****** 43 years old. In fact he's even younger than my mom who is soon to be 47 next month. Almost everyday, he's always threatening my mom. I tried convincing my mom to leave him for good, but she won't listen to me. I'm planning on moving soon, but I'm going through a lot of stuff like school and work. I mean he's usually nice at times and gives us food. But I usually eat a lot cause I'm a tall person, plus I have a love of food. But I'm too scared to eat all of it cause he'll start flipping out and ****. So what should I do?
